'So, first and foremost, I urge God’s people to pray . They should make their requests, petitions, and thanksgivings on behalf of all humanity.  Teach them to pray for kings (or anyone in high places for that matter ) so that we can lead quiet, peaceful lives—reverent, godly, and holy —   all of which is good and acceptable before the eyes of God our Savior.' 1 Timothy 2:1-3 (VOICE)     'Pursue the peace and welfare of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to Me, the Eternal, for Babylon because if it has peace, you will live in peace.”' Jeremiah 29:7 (VOI CE) 'Whereas the Honourable the General Congress, impressed with a grateful sense of the goodness of Almighty God, in blessing the greater part of this extensive continent with plentiful harvests, crowning our arms with repeated successes, conducting us hitherto safely through the perils with which we have been encompassed and manifesting in multiplied instances his divine care of these infant sta

' For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, and it pierces more sharply than a two-edged sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.' Hebrews 4:12 (TPT) ' As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us .' Hebrews 12:1 (TPT) Dear Father  "I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection; that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for

 ' O n that Day I’ll replace Shebna. I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. I’ll dress him in your robe. I’ll put your belt on him. I’ll give him your authority. He’ll be a father-leader to Jerusalem and the government of Judah. I’ll give him the key of the Davidic heritage. He’ll have the run of the place—open any door and keep it open, lock any door and keep it locked. I’ll pound him like a nail into a solid wall. He’ll secure the Davidic tradition. Everything will hang on him—not only the fate of Davidic descendants but also the detailed daily operations of the house, including cups and cutlery.' Isaiah 22:20-24 (MSG) Whom God calls He also equips. Our leaders in government should be like father figures to us. On that day, Shebna was deposed and Eliakim was chosen and on him was placed the robe of righteousness and the belt of truth. He was given all power and authority and the promises were even handed down to him through the key of King David's

'My darling, I am yours,      and you are mine, as you feed your sheep     among the lilies.     Pretend to be a young deer dancing on mountain slopes      until daylight comes      and shadows fade away.'  Song of Solomon 2:16-17 (CEV) Source: 'Drummingthemessagehome', November 16, 2019 blog post.    

'Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that’s not the way of Christ. Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly. You don’t need a telescope, a  microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him. When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything.' Colossians 2:8-10 (MSG) ' Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.

'Before the mountains were brought forth,      or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,      from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.' Psalm 90:2 (RSV) Forever! There is a God.  Dear Father. I am so thankful that You are God. That You created it all. You declared that it is good. It is all working together to reveal Your Glory. That mountain is awe inspiring. As I look toward the heavens I ponder on Your Word. It all works together for good. You are drawing the lost to You. Even to the point where the heavens were aligned, the galaxies were created and gravity is the law that keeps my feet firmly planted on a planet that spins on its axis and hurls through vast space. How do You do it? I don't understand it all. All I know is that in all of it, there You are! From the beginning until the end. You knew me. You spoke my name. In Your name there is power. For evermore. You are Love. You are beautiful. In Jesus's name. Amen.   Source: '
